# Why another script?

Shuriken is a tool to facilitate the tedious task of copying config files and ssh keys across servers; to do so it follows a very minimalist approach, leveraging the power of script generation directly in the clipboard and ready to paste in a terminal, rather than dealing with file transfers and file permissions.

When a file is imported from stdin, Shuriken detects what it is and imports it into its repository (usually in `~/.shuriken`) where all public keys and configurations are stored.

When an ssh key is exported (from the shuriken repository or an absolute path to a file) Shuriken will prepare a script ready to be pasted in from the clipboard, containing commands to create the user if doesn't exists, copy the ssh key file in place and set the correct permissions.
